1When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
1When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
2They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.

6For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smolders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
7They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
8Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned .
8Ephraim mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
9Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it.
10And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought himfor all this.
10The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
11“Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
12Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction.

14And their hearts did not cry to me , but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
14They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
15They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
15Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
16They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
1[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.

7for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it .

11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars , [his] beloved altars are become sins to him .
